Goal

Adds an "Export Layout" button to the Gravity Forms editor that copies a full HTML visual layout of the form to the clipboard, ready to paste straight into a Google Doc. Useful for handing a form's structure to someone who does not have admin access, and for keeping a readable record of how a form was built.

Requirements

• Gravity Forms, and the gravityforms_edit_forms capability.
• Gravity Perks Populate Anything, for the GPPA section of the export. The rest of the layout exports without it.

Usage

Open a form in the editor and click Export Layout, then paste into the target document.

Features

The exported layout carries the field metadata the editor does not show at a glance:

• Every field and sub-field, with its label, type and visibility.
• Conditional logic, with field IDs resolved back to their labels.
• Calculation formulas.
• Populate Anything (GPPA) choice and value configuration, including the source object type, the primary property, and the ordering property and direction.

Notes

• The AJAX endpoint that supplies the field data is nonce-checked and requires gravityforms_edit_forms, so it is not readable by unprivileged users.
